BRUSSELS 12 March 2019 — As part of its mandate to provide consular services to Filipinos under its jurisdiction, the Philippine Embassy in Brussels, in cooperation with Philippine Honorary Consul General Alain Kinsch, conducted its first consular outreach mission for 2019 at the Philippine Consulate General in Luxembourg on 02 March 2019.
Consul Charles Andrei P. Macaspac led the consular team and officiated the oath-taking of a dual citizenship applicant from Luxembourg. He also checked on the condition of a Filipino presently staying in the country who was a victim of human trafficking.
A total of 62 Filipinos living in Luxembourg and in the nearby provinces of Saarland and Rheinland Pfalz in Germany availed themselves of the Embassy’s services, which included passport renewal, legalization of documents, application for reacquisition of Philippine citizenship, civil status registration, and NBI fingerprinting services. 16 passports and three legalized documents were also released to applicants living in these areas.
The clients expressed their appreciation to the Embassy’s consular team for reaching out to them, and for helping them save time, money and effort of having to travel all the way to Brussels for consular services.
Luxembourg is a landlocked country in northwestern Europe surrounded by Belgium, France, and Germany. Despite its small landmass and small population, Luxembourg is the second-wealthiest country in the world when measured on a gross domestic product (GDP) per capita basis. Luxembourg has one of the highest current account surpluses as a share of GDP in the euro zone, maintaining a healthy budgetary position and the lowest public debt level in the region.
Most of the more than 500 Filipinos in Luxembourg are professionals working as auditors, accountants, information technology experts, and lawyers in reputable financial institutions. They are highly respected for their skills and excellent work ethic. END
